In 1951, Joe Oberweis (pictured left), son of founder Peter Oberweis, built and opened a new dairy located on North Lake Street in Aurora, Illinois. This new dairy allowed Joe to perfect a formula using the cream from his premium milk, to produce the best ice cream available -- the formula we still use to this very day!

This facility also permitted another Oberweis Dairy first -- a retail store selling Oberweis products and an ice cream fountain with creations guaranteed to tempt the taste buds.

The proud Oberweis Dairy tradition continues in all of our retail ice cream and dairy store locations throughout Chicagoland and St. Louis as well as locations in Indiana and Michigan.

Today, the third and fourth generations of the Oberweis family operate the dairy that carries the family name and that makes our super premium ice cream, milk and other fine products.

Visit a store today and see what generations of fans have been raving about. Try one of our traditional fountain treats and pick up some of our glass bottled farm fresh milk.

We look forward to seeing you!
